Content Provider

Diagram contents should be provided below the diagram file node selected based on diagram file extension. Provided structure should corresponds with the diagram file content (notation model stored there) with some extensions described below. Generated code should be based on gmfgen model structure, so all the features described below should have a reflection in gmfgen model. Then we are talking about “selected set” of Views, this set should be selected based on visualID attribute attached to each View using an information stored in gmfgen.

It should be possible to provide modified notation model structure into the navigator, with following modifications:

- Show only selected subset of the Views existing in notation model.

Example: hide Views representing labels on diagram.

- Introduce additional group (category) below any View containing some set of child views. This additional group should has own name and icon specified in gmfgen model.

Example: should be able to create artificial group with name “classes” below package diagram and show all the classes from this package only below this group.

- Hide some Views existing in underlying notation model from the navigator tree, show all their child elements directly below their parents.

Example: Do not show compartments in navigator - show all the attributes just below the class node.

- Show selected subset of the Edges below any node in navigator. All Edges visible on diagram are stored in Diagram node inside notation model.

Example: All generalization links should be visible just below the Diagram node in navigator.

Example: Group called “association links” should be created below the Diagram node in navigator, all association links should go to this group.

- Show incoming/outgoing links below the corresponding View representation in navigator or in additional logical group.

Example: All outgoing association links should be located below the class node in navigator (/below the special group “association links”).

- Show child elements of the links. Edge contains sub-nodes in notation model so, corresponding child elements should be represented in a same way as for normal node.

- Show source/target elements of the links. Should be possible to show source/target node connected with the link either directly below the link node or below the group (something like “outgoing links”/“incoming links”).

- Show link destination as a child element of link source.

Example: If containment reference is visualized as link on diagram, user could ask to show two nodes connected with this link as parent and child in model navigator.
